Celebrate Pollinator Week with the DuPage Monarch Project

By Lonnie Morris

Pollinator Week (June 16 – 22) comes at the beginning of summer and is a well-timed reminder of the importance of pollinators, all those tiny buzzing and fluttering creatures that are essential for successful gardens and smooth-running ecosystems.

There are many ways to be involved with Pollinator Week, from walking outside to look for butterflies to adding native plants to a garden. DuPage Monarch Project is offering an opportunity on June 18th  to learn more about amazing pollinators and how gardeners can help them thrive.

Flight, Buzz and Bloom is an opportunity for the fans of monarch butterflies and ecogardeners to hear recent updates in the designation of monarchs as a threatened species, some fun facts about honey bees and native bees and how the collective power of gardeners is protecting pollinators. There will also be time for mingling, meeting and learning from gardeners who are rethinking how their gardens can be both beautiful and a home for bees and butterflies.
